Do you have any evidence to support them being especially ethical, or is this just a gut reaction?

The facts are that we don't have enough facts, we have an unsubstantiated accusation that should be treated as such.

Countering an unsubstantiated accusation with another unsubstantiated accusation isn't going to get us anywhere.

It's not about being ethical. It's about exposing yourself to liability.

Where, exactly, did I make any accusation at all?

I said we don't have enough evidence to make meaningful claims, which I still hold to be true.
